The model now powers 85% of detections across the Abnormal Behavior Platform. Attune 1.0 uses a unified multimodal architecture to understand normal organisational communication patterns and detect AI-driven attacks. The system identifies approximately 150,000 more attack campaigns weekly than earlier systems and delivers 50% higher precision. It recently identified and blocked a novel Microsoft Teams OAuth phishing campaign two months before public documentation. The company also released Detection 360 Insights for visibility into AI determinations and Custom AI Models in early access. New features for AI Phishing Coach include Phishing Risk Scoring and BEC and VEC Simulations, both now generally available.

Financial services institutions have long relied on machine learning for risk management, but the threat landscape has grown exponentially in the age of generative artificial intelligence (AI), according to executives from Capital One, Visa and Alloy. Fraudsters now have access to AI tools, including synthetic identity generation and real-time phishing attacks, they said. But AI is also arming companies to supercharge their defensive capabilities, since trust and security are the foundation of financial transactions. “Trust is the very foundation of commerce,” said Rajat Taneja, president of technology at Visa. “When two unknown parties are transacting, they have to trust that the transaction will occur correctly, the money will be transferred properly, any dispute will be managed, and there’s someone handling fraud and scams.”
Abnormal Security has been recognized as a Leader in the inaugural Gartner Magic Quadrant for Email Security Platforms.
Patlytics announced significant growth, securing new funding led by Myriad Venture Partners, following a $4.5M seed round in April.

Patlytics' GenAI-powered platform enhances patent intelligence, streamlining workflows and improving IP protections. The patent industry is projected to reach $31.3 billion by 2032, driven by the need for efficient patent management solutions.
